Hannah Arendt is recognized as one of the most creative and
original thinkers of the twentieth century. This study provides an
original reconstruction of Arendt's political philosophy, and is
the first to systematically evaluate the four major concepts
underlying her work--modernity, action, judgment, and citizenship.
Taking each concept in turn, "The Political Philosophy of Hannah
Arendt" examines the integrity of Arendt's argument, providing a
philosophical account of her theory of participatory democracy
based on freedom, plurality, and solidarity.
Beginning from the interpretation of these concepts in her work,
d'Entreves assesses Arendt's importance to contemporary debates on
the nature and scope of democratic citizenship, and explores the
conditions necessary for an active and democratic political culture
to flourish. D'Entreves draws out the tensions and ambiguities in
Ardendt's work, arguing that Arendt's conception of active
citizenship and communication provides the best starting point for
the exercise of political agency.
